Marie biscuit squares – Some recipes never get old. I remember as a kid, buying the chocolate marie biscuit squares at the local fete and on a recent camping trip when a friend pulled out a large tub of the deathly sweet treat, everyone mused over fond memories of their mom baking/assembling a batch of these quick and easy treats. Needless to say, the large batch was annihilated in seconds and the biscuit recipe shared out between the moms.
These Marie biscuit squares are perfect to pull together with the kids. Perfect for bake sales, bakers day and kids parties or just to have on hand for when hubby is poking around the pantry, looking for something to satisfy the sweet tooth.

Hi i made these squares and they cake out so goowee. What did I do wrong? Please help
Hello Donna, aaa, so sorry to hear that. The original recipe was shared by a friend of mine, I double checked with her and she used the exact same one often. Some things to check – did you make use of real butter as it does not work with margarine as substitute also, the butter should not boil, only be melted. Did you remember to add the egg and make use of icing sugar and NOT caster sugar?
